Diljit Dosanjh takes dig at those who slammed 'pizza langar' at farmers' protest site

New Delhi/IBNS: Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh who has been backing the farmers' protest against the Centre's contentious laws, on Monday, slammed those who criticised the distribution of pizzas among the demonstrators camped at Singhu on Delhi-Haryana border.

In a tweet, the 36-year-old actor wrote: "Farmers consuming poison was never a concern but farmers eating pizza is news."

Last week, several volunteers had set up gyms and massage centres to maintain the health of the farmers as images of elderly peasants receiving a foot massage done gone viral on social media.

Not only Gym and massage machines, but the farmers were also treated with free pizzas at the sites of the protest.

Following these, a section of netizens said the protest grounds have now changed to a 'huge fair'.

However, there were also many who praised the initiative, dubbed as "Pizza Langar".

Hundreds of farmers, mostly from Punjab, are camping at Delhi's Singhu, Tikri, Ghazipur and Chilla (Delhi-Noida) border points since the last 17 days.

The farmers' unions protesting the Centre's farm laws will take out a tractor rally on Sunday to block the Delhi-Jaipur Highway, vowing to intensify their protest even as Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the laws are aimed at doubling their income by facilitating access to alternate markets.
